JASON WELSHAN TAKES CLASH AT THE GAP $6,000 VICTORY

by Steve Hixson
BULLS GAP, TN (October 12) - The "Flyin' Welshan Brigade" and its racer Jason Welshan of Maryville, Tenn., earned $6,000 Saturday night at Volunteer Speedway in Bulls Gap, Tennessee with a victory in the "Clash at the Gap" for Steel-head engine Late Models. Welshan moved into the lead amid tight racing midway through the unsanctioned 50-lapper and raced to victory in an event co-promoted by engine builder Vic Hill and track owners Joe and Phyllis Loven. Trevor Sise of Knoxville, Tenn., who led a single lap, was second with Cory Hedgecock of Loudon, Tenn., in third. Mark Martin of Baxter, Tenn., who led the first 25 laps and earned $5,000 at Volunteer in a similar event earlier in the season, was fourth and Josh Collins of Knoxville rounded out the top five. Martin jumped to the lead at the outset in hopes of repeating his Aug. 16 victory at Volunteer, but Welshan and Sise kept him in check while the eighth-starting Hedgecock worked to the front in the low groove. On lap 26, Martin was struggling with slower cars when Welshan made a bid for the lead. As the frontrunners races side-by-side into turn they, they touched and appeared to be briefly connected. Sise took advantage to make a three-wide move on the frontstretch and take command, but Welshan went ahead a lap later while Hedgecock dropped Martin to fourth. After a lap-29 yellow, Welshan built a 10-length margin on the Sise-Hedgecock battle for second. They stayed close enough to be factors late in the race, but Welshan held on for the victory.
